I have identified a possible runaway/victim of exploitation. The person is a White female, approx. 5'6", 80 lbs. skinny build, pink hair, brown eyes and was wearing black skinny jeans, black tank top, black baseball cap with a button on the side. She has star tattoos on her forearm, a nose piercing, and piercings on both the upper and lower lips. Location is 10th Street Laundry, GF, MT. I approached the female in the Laundromat and identified myself as a missionary and advocate for human trafficking. I asked if she was "okay" and if her life was in danger. She identified herself as "Lori" She denies any imminent danger, and appeared to be alone. She appeared to have bruising on her arms, but I don't really recall. I asked if there was anything I can do to help or if there are any people that I can point her to, and she declined any assistance. Throughout the conversation she was very skittish and only made eye contact a few times. I gave her $100 and offered to pray for her, which she accepted, and gave my cell number and number to the church I am a missionary for (Central Assembly of God) and identified the organization that I work with that specializes in anti-human trafficking operations (FREE International). This was today (Sat. 06/04/2022) at approximately 11:15.
